That's roughly right for total years intermittently day trading. Full time, the past three years. But for as long back as I can remember I have been old and infirm and half-blind and fast slipping mentally. No country for old men.

No. It's true. It took me over ten years to develop a winning system so simple that it codes into 20 SLOCs (not ADHD, that is just an abusing undicator). The ten years is embarrassing because I developed it as an S/R indicator on the daily chart for investing and didn't recognize its value for...

I know little of Jack other than what he has freely chosen to reveal about himself here. Years ago I verified on the web that he is published, and at one time had an activew community charitable presence. News clippings prove that he was active in volunteer EMT and teaching survival skills. But...

Let me give you an example. I claim that the attached chart of the minute following the close proves the validity of Jack's PV Relation using code I could print on one side of a note card. Am I bullshitting you, or telling the truth? Or is there any such thing as truth on ET? If what I say is...

Well, you do what you have to do to stay mentally fit in your dotage. Fucking with the heads of people who are younger and smarter than you are takes some serious creative and oraginal thought. But once you have a noob hooked on ET it is indeed great good fun. And like good sport fishing, you...

You are basing your opinion of him on The New Jack. The Old Jack made much more sense, albeit in an infuriatingly convoluted way. Go look at his old shit here from around 2002, if it hasn't already crumbled to digital dust.

Pedhaps this a better way to think of it. If I had known ten years ago what I know now, I could have said what Jack said one hell of a lot clearer. Note that I said "could have." But if I had had Jack's insights ten years ago, I would either have totally obfuscated it as he did or kept my mouth...

The late Charlie Wilson said famously "Too much is never enough." Many people thought he was talking about money.

I have struggled for years to visualize PV in a format that doesn't require drawing price and volume trend lines (because the dog always finds and munches my Crayolas), and in a simple presentation which a drunk rolling in the gutter can interpret (which is pretty much my condition when...

Many things have changed about ET over the years, but one has remained constant: the eager willingness of the community seriously to consider new and useless methods of Technical Unalysis. The support you have given me here in the refinement of PV-Viz has been unbelievable. The name-calling. The...

Now, Jack, how many times have I advised you to keep it vague and qualitative to avoid being caught out? You know very well that it takes a minimum of three ticks in ES to identify a turning point (see the attachment near Friday's open). So a round trip plus slippage worst case is eight ticks...

Form your best guess based on intuition. Then do the opposite.

Your clairvoyance must be a great aid to you in trading.

I refer you to the Dunning-Kruger effect.

My first day at The Little Red Schoolhouse they gave us chalk and slates.

Even better! Don't need a slide rule for that! An abacus will do.

Hmm. A rocket. Let's see. How would a rocket scientist characterize a rocket? Measure position as a function of time? Derive velocity and acceleration as functions of time? Maybe characterize propellant consumption from telemetry? Process all the data he has with modern DSP filters? Nah! He'd...

Tell all your literate friends it's your favorite quote from Al Cibiades.

I only automate the trade entries and exits. Automating the actual trades would take all the fun out of it. KInd of like screwing. It's OK if fate decides the opportunity, but you want to do the actual work yourself.

Surely there is a shitkicker bar near you that has a bull-ride machine. It is simultaneouslya buy and a sell.
